Shirley Flirty Fairies, The Cure (for Spirit Cooking? - REAL magic is better) : gagablog #144

(Meanwhile: it is now 5 am on Saturday morning, 4-15-17. Since I wrote the following, 2-3 days ago, a few majore news stories have grabbed headlines. America dropped it's largest non-nuclear bomb, 11 tons, on a network of caves used by ISIS in Afghanistan, supposedly. We also sent a fleet of ships to North Korea where they are now celebrating their founder and Kim Jong Un's grandad's 105th birthday and the rhetoric has ramped up since they annually celbrate with a military parade and bomb tests and presumably the American force has been dispatched to dissuade them froma test but they said they would respond to military pressure with a pre-emptive military strike. Also Trump has said relations with Russia have "never been worse" which sounds ridiculous to me growing up in the Reagan years and I made the joke that he was fighting with Melania again. Why do I presume this joke has a magical meaning as well as possibly a literal connection to real events, say, assuming she is his Russian connection. But more I think my own personal life, even something as personal and individual as this self-indulgent blog, can have an impact on world events. I wrote the following after personal difficulties and I have resolved those in new, better ways. I hope those resolutions will be translated into new directions for world events than the courses towards war that we seem to be on.

Some other events that happened in the last few days included the social media uproar over United Airlines forcibly removing a passenger who refused to give up his seat to their employees. They injured the 72-year-old man and the internet spread the word virally with memes and everything, a marketing nightmare for the company but a physical nightmare for the passenger. They are compensating him but also compensating the other passengers on the flight for the trauma they endured around the incident. Yesterday the local news in Denver is that the police were paying $1,000,000 to the family of a girl they killed in 2015 when she was in a stolen car. I believe her name was Jessica Hernandez and she was latina and lesbian I think so there are also efforts to improve relations between police and these communities. I believe she was 15 years old and I wish improvements could extend to every demographic and grouping of people, kids included. Also it makes me think the other kids in the car should be compensated for witnessing their friend ger murdered. And I compare this to the media frenzy over the United passenger and how they compesated the other occupants of that vehicle for something that was traumatic but not as bad as being in the car with your friend getting shot.

And that makes me think about all the cases where even if the police who murder civilians are not punished there is some admission of guilt in the settlements they award to the families. But what if they also started compensating the other members of the community who are affected by police murder, profiling, and brutality? If the standard was to find ways to compensate everyone affected by misuse of law enforcement power then even if the cops were not personally held to account it could change the systematic problems by heavily incentivising departments to really get it right and avoid excessive force.

The following will be edited for content since some things have changed and I was very negative when I wrote it and I'm much more positive, now. I hope this translates to the negativity connecting with the increasing military tensions this week but the resolution relating to new discoveries and directions.

Another new discovery I just want to mention is apparently a moon of Saturn where it is always snowing due to a spout of water at the pole. This creates one of the most brilliant objects in our solar system since it is pure white and also may support life. They suspect microorganism and evn suggected larger species may live there but of course my idea is why not People? And they say even life on Mars could potentially be a "contamination" from Earth but this is too far away to be that - though I intuitively believe Timothy Leary's Gaia theory that Mushroom spores - and probably other things - can seed alien worlds with life. But I also believe in the scientists theory that life there would mean a "second genesis" in our solar system which would suggest life is abundant throughout the universe. I intuitively believe in millions of civilizations in the universe and impending connection with them so I'm excited to write my book about communication with ghosts, angels, aliens and fairies before it all "comes out." The following was written Tuesday or Wennesday)

Do the things I write here affect the world, magically? Yes. Do I take full responsibilty for everything? Maybe not but I can take more - "with great power comes great responsibilty" - Uncle Ben / Spider-Man.

When I wrote about Jane Eyre I mentioned another crush. I mentioned that my relationship was over after 19 years and I was finally accepting that. Then I had an internet outage and that part was lost and I did not rewrite it. Maybe I was afraid if would come true, I didn't really want to face it.

War is something I wish would stop coming true. I want to end it, forever, and I know magic is the way to do it and basically all that is holding us back is it will also be a great chance for people to learn belief so we're kind of waiting for folks to be ready, to pay attention. (Also I think Magic is Love and Art and Sex and Nature and some other things - even if magic is everything it is "more" these things in a way and will come out as we take these paths. Also there are things like "Poverty" that are the worst kinds of magic or most "anti-magical" aspects of the world so naturally as we become more magical these will have to go away. A radio program tonight about schools for black kids that are under increased pressure and scrutiny to perform mentioned that Martin Luther King Jr. said we are trying to "fix" poverty in the education system and other sytems but can't do it, can't make up for poverty in other ways because we actually need to fix it, itself, not try to fix it or pretend we can through other systems. And it's true that increased problems are associated with poverty but even if they weren't poverty should be bad enough in itself. This also reminds me of a report on a retired journalist who was assassinated in Mexico and how that is one of the three most dangerous countries for journalists. One of the commentators asked if there were "failed states" that were safer for journalists than what does this mean about "successful states", how can that be said of countries where the press is under such threats? This makes me step back and look at all the ways that America could be seen as a failed state, all the dimensions of life, if we only look at it through less flag-colored glasses.)

But I have been wanting to follow-up on the fairies of Jane Eyre with an edition for the fairies of Shirley. I had read about half of it when I wrote that edition. The fairies are not nearly as numerous in Shirley. I kind of knew they wouldn't be, that it is not as good a book as Jane Eyre - and I guess I've been holding myself back in many ways in case anyone wants to come along.

I quit smoking yesterday. Cigarettes. (I quit for those two days, then smoked again yesterday and today - so this was written on Wenesday, 4-12-17) I kind of want one but I have amazing weed instead, my favorite strain, Zeta Sage, a pure sativa. I will enjoy that now. There are events I would like to change in the world, courses I would like to choose or avoid - such as away from all war. I won't get into any of those details and just focus on fairies in Shirley. I want to meet new girls and fall in love, or even start again with my lover but I am probably closer than ever to really giving up on that, if you ever really can. And I don't have anything to say about that either other than I want to write about Shirley, that fairies, and magic in general. And I want to do this to get it out of the way, like a picture I want to draw for a girl I used to have a crush on, and then move on to Better Books and stories and art if I have to make them myself. (And make them for myself. I realized I rely on feeling like someone feels good about me but if I catch myself I can avoid feeling bad in the first place, even if I have some "reason" to feel bad, and if I start feeling bad I can shange course better, now, with this new idea - that I can live up to my fairy Nature.)

And I've  just been anchored in place and it's time to shove off. The basic premise of Shirley   -SPOILER ALERT  - is the story is girls wondering who they will marry and the end of it is they get married. It's like "incomplete" = unmarried and then Complete = Married.

I completely reject this idea except I lived it out and stayed married for a long time like there was some kind of prize. (Now I read that back and hear how callous it sounds and of course that was not he only reason, or even a reason I thought much about at all, I have such better reasons to stay married, especially when I feel good about it - but I did feel some pride at staying together as long as we are.) I guess I consider that we are still married, in some ways - like legally. But I thought we were married years before we legally were, when I said something special to her under a Holly tree. I proposed under a Willow tree years later. But even though we have been legally married for 17 years almost it's like we have been broken up or separated for some times along the way and I feel like for over a year now - I'm pretty sure she broke up with me last February but when I mention it now she says she never broke up with me. If so I don't know why I've been so upset and felt so estranged the last 13 months. I have more questions about this but nothing I want to continue here. (Again, in hindsight I wrote this when i really was trying to convince myself that breaking up was what I had to do, even if it was a means to try to get her to want me back - but i really didn't want to do it and it made me sick and miserable to convince myself and I feel much better now that we are more closely "back together" but it's also nice to not feel pressure about it either way and just feel good whatever we call it.)

I just want to talk about the fairies in Shirley, how the story barely flirts with them compared with Jane Eyre - its not really nearly as good a book and this could be why. And maybe she was trying to not write a love story and got sucked in, which is cool - it is a good story in many ways but you can tell why Jane Eyre is more famous and it does have ten times the number of fairy or fairy-like references.

But every fairy is worth noting. And I knew it wasn't going to be as "magic" - she says it is "not a romance" at the beginning. I really want to read something that Is a romance. (I don't know why I forgot to say this: I had recently read Lorna Doone and in the prelude he says it IS a romance but it is a very action-adventure story. I had the notion that Emily (Charlotte, actually - sorry if I got that wrong before, too) Bronte had read it, too, and was even trying to write a story that did not really have romance in it - a story about politics and merchants and whatnot - but couldn't help herself as the story developed. I don't know and would have to reread how she explains it how this could not be called a romance. But the girls in the story don't even show up for a few hundred and a thousand pages, in my little-page DS format where the story is 5,800 pages.

The idea that Romance, and Fairies, "can't be helped" and will come out, if they are there in a story or place, is what I was going for, here - the idea of this world always reaching out to us and pulling us in if we respond to it. This is what I have been avoiding by "breaking away" from Gaga, last year, as I explain some, here:)

I wanted to have some sort of Sex Dream years ago in order to write an insightful gagablog about Sexxx Dreams and got completely off track then, focused mainly on politics and not Gaga, even boycotting Joanne because of Hillary - but I stopped watching Colbert after how he treated Bernie, and have since gone back to watching him some, the only other real "boycott" I had going - and I went back to facebook after they destroyed my laptop for my political posts, after  a couple months absence  - which hurt one of my monster friend's feelings, sorry about that Melissa Germanotta. I love you and never want to let you feel lonely.

I have to go to work in a few minutes and wont start this tonight but I hope I will clear it away tomorrow: I kind of want to smoke a cigarette. I will probably delete this stuff, or maybe put parenthesis around the stuff I would delete, when i reread it.

I hate feeling so lonely that I make a big deal out of someone being basically polite, This girl has a nice smile, she smiles at me. It doesn't mean she is attracted to me.

The girl I wrote about and I think what I wrote got deleted and I decided it was fate, well I had a crush on her for over 25 years. I only am in contact with her very occasionally on facebook - like once a year or maybe only once we actually were talking to each other at the same time. I think she is on another platform mostly - Weple? so maybe i will check that out. (we are back together in an open relationship so maybe I still will.)

(The Following is Now, 5:42 AM - remaining parenthesis are "live", traditional, not future edits as previous) When I let myself think about it there are even other girls from my past whom I have never forgotten or still think about, or think fondly of when they come up, but I never talk about them. And there are girls I've never met before whom I hope to meet. There is my own feminine aspect, my fairy nature, too, and my artistic side I've been denying. Its always beatiful girls who remind me of this "hidden side" and bring it out, my attraction for girls makes me want to create, like a dance, to impress them. I just need to know it is welcome. When I feel good in my relationship my lover is always inspiring to me but my own laziness and excuses away from art, even this writing I feel I must "process" every so often, end up causing me not to make art and being frustrated with that can lead to negativity towards our relationship, even subconsciously drawing it out and I end up feeling too much pressure and expressing negativity. I can remember what I realized a few years ago  -and Use it: I always want to make art when I feel really good but if I make art even when I'm not feeling great, or even feeling bad, it makes me feel better to make it.

This is kind of the Cure-All solution: Art, Magic, Love. When You have a problem, make one or all of these.

While I have the notes handy, and to finish this cycle of a year or so where I have been more into books than music, and all these classics - I've just started Uncle Tom's Cabin and have too much to say. I want to buy Joanne tomorrow as a spell for reconciliation, love and peace. And I will go see Star Wars Rouge One for the first time after wanting to for months.

Also there were two little magical appearances in the last few days. The first was on my hoodie, a Broncos theme with a bright orange lining. I've worn it hundreds of times for about a year and then found a needle in the elbow, stuck in with a bit of orange thread matching the lining. No one has mended my hoodie since I got it. The logical explanation is that the needle was left there at the factory, that it was there all year and I just never felt it, it never snagged on my coat when I put that on over it as I did all winter. The magical explanation is that I was thinking if we still had a chance, my lover and I, despite my "resolution" to break up, and I felt that and it seemed like a fairy had placed it there as a clue that the smallest thing can appear (prick you - like the David Bowie / Brian Eno song "We Prick You") and lead to great magic and the symbolism of having a connection to the bright orange inner lining, the thread, seemed to be like look inside and this is who I really am, at heart.

The other thing was a clue my coworker found in his pocket, a scrap of paper with "Banach Tarsky Paradox" written on it. He did not recognize the handwriting, did not know how it got there and said the jacket was just washed. I dropped it outside my door when I got home but just went out and picked it up - I will look it up now and smoke a bowl. I had a little trouble understanding the terms on wikipedia but it makes me think it is a clue to One-ism, Onefinity math I have been describing, an instance of how Two Can Become One - at least in dimensions more than One or Two dimensions - which makes me suspect these One and Two dimensions are collapsed versions of "multi-dimensions" and will be more easily understood with these two-in-ones that comprise it and everything Lining Up to Flatten out.

The other news event was that the CIA head made a statement about declaring Wikileaks a foregin, hostile power - "all these differences between people are made up, they are the same no matter what they are called" someone just told Paul Newman on some movie I turned on where she wants to make out with him even though she is a Presbyterian and he is a Jew. Then later in the day the news was reported first that Wikileaks, then American hackers, had exposed that the NSA was spying on Swift, the intra-bank communication system.

This made me think that if you are against the Truth you will falter, eventually. Wikileaks is just like a whistleblower organization - the guilt lies with those they expose. The CIA director actually whined that most of their info was against the US - did he ever think maybe that was because of all the things we do wrong and all the effects of it? He suggested more autocratic countries "should be their targets" but did not seem to appreciate the irony, hypocrisy, of saying that in a statement about becoming more autocratic to crack down on whistleblowers!

Here are the notes about the fairies in Shirley - you can't avoid the magical, fairy world once you start to believe in it, even a little, because it is More Real and draws you in - the same can be said for Truth in this world of Empowered Lies. Even if they array all their worldly powers into trying to suppress the Truth they will only fall more massively.

As I write this it is now 5:28 AM on Easter Sunday, 4-16-17. The headline news story that happened since I last typed this was a continuation of the birthday celebration in North Korea - they fired a missile which our news reports exploded soon after launch. No one says why it exploded. With all the rhetoric the BBC mentioned that the media in the UK is alarmist but the reporters in Korea were saying no one seemed paniced or too worried, just business as usual. They are saying some governments see Trump as a "wild card" or something - I see the recent statement that he was giving the military "total authorization" to be proof of what i said earlier, that once he is in power it is the Military and other "Powers" who run the show.

I'm against war and violence so I applaud any bomb or missile going off before hurting anyone, if that was the case - they said it exploded "seconds" after launch but didn't say how many seconds. It makes me wonder a few things, such as why the thing exploded. Shoddy workmanship? They just can't get it right? I imagine they have plenty of expertise and everything they need to make it work right and were probably sabatoged. By America? It's quite likely given our history and one of the ways our government seems to like to do things - or by some other government with the same motivations.

But I also like to think it is aliens. But I won't get into that too much yet or why they wouldn't stop bombs and things even more often.

Now, before finding out what the Easter Bunny left on our baskets, I will finish this report on fairies, at least until I get tired. Maybe it will make me focus and do it quickly.

Oh, one more thing, the thing I meant to say. It is Easter. I don't know if that "means", to other people, or to "certain other people", that we should end or avoid war, or even avoid it just for today - or if certain people would decide that expectation would make it a good day for a sneak attack. I like to think it will be peaceful, that new peace will emerge even when it seems like war is rearing it's ugly head again.

If there is some way to choose between two worlds, or between two possible paths for the future, please let this be the choice for peace, for the harmonious and nonviolent path. let us be in that world, today, and tommorrow and forever. Let the world of war pass into history. But let us all live on in a new world of peace, instead - starting today if we have to.

here are the fairies:

Pg. 489: "It is happy that he can have his own bliss, his own society with his great friend and goddess, Nature, quite independent of those who find little pleasure in him..." It's nice it starts this way, with the Goddess, Nature. It took a few pages, and takes a few more to get going, a flurry of fairies - a light flurry - but this is a wonderful start.

Pg. 1016: All of Chapter Seven's beginning is about Youth and therefore fairyland  -it makes it very explicit. It's strictly about the transition from youth to adulthood but the experience is of the Youth looking at idealized future status. And it is full of references like diving right into a fairy pool. Pg. 1017 "half-divine or semi-demon" pg.1018-1019 all sorts of aspects of nature are mentioned with magical connotations pg. 1020 "- at eighteen...Elf-land lies behind us..." and in this space between Elf-land and "the shores of reality" we are visited by Three Spirits: Hope, Love, and Experience. When seen from The Land of Reality these extensive descriptions are indulgent personification, but when seen from the fairy world she really gets into talking to Love and Experience, really describes their characters and makes the come to life more than a simpler characterization. The fairy world makes us more alive because everything is more alive.

After a computer update I will have to trust that my intention is expressed so far, for now, and I will finish this soon but sleep now and see what the bunny brought after dreaming.

I woke up, got my basket, went back to sleep and woke up again. The world is still here. It is 2
.

3:28 PM on Easter. I have eggs to hunt and will not be able to finish this before work tonight but trust I will be able to, soon. Nothing "worse" has happened that i can tell without turning on media, anyway - I guess before I go I want to mention that story about maybe British and American or Russian troops across the battlefield, at war with each other, who chose to stop fighting one Christmas Day and come together and celebrate  -then went back to fighting the next day? I had the fear of one bad thing leading to more, to war, between America and Korea again, or that destroyed the world - that's always the big fear, right? But not big enough to end militarism?

its just a matter of perspective. I hoped that stating this wish, on Easter, would be enough to turn the course of events towards peace  -I believe it will. So I will post more about the fairies tomorrow, and tomorrow, if I need to - and finish Sexxx Dreams and Artpop and end the boycott and buy Joanne and listen to it and Gaga even has a new song that comes out tonight, "The Cure" -

I saw so many Cure references on my facebook I thought it was a collaboration between The Cure and Gaga, two of my favorite artists. Now I'm making the comment that i hope it is the Cure for Spirit cooking, #savethecheerleadersavetheworld , because there is Good Magic, Fairy Magic and Art and Love when she gets out of the bad stuff.

Actually this will be enough for now and I will note the Fairies next time and publish this as is.
Peace and Love will be the Way.

Conspiracy Tree: Syria: Ending War - gagablog #143

I hastily concluded the last edition last night before going to work. I was hoping it would have the effect of the one from 2013, to stop what looks like progress towards an escalation of war. Since I wrote that Trump gave the order to shoot 59 Tomahawk missiles at a Syrian Air Force base, destroying it. The American story has been that this is a response to the chemical weapons attack by Bashar Al Assad on the people of a village there, Iblis I believe. They say Trump changed his mind on Syria. Pundits have pointed out that these are the tactics of the ex-Generals he has recently appointed to his cabinet, McMasters and others. This confirms what I said here yesterday that Trump, whatever he was before -  Hillary's Puppet, Putin's Puppet, No Puppet / You're the Puppet - he is now part of the machine, just as Obama became, and the Machine is the War Machine. There were a few voices on the news, other retired Generals I think, who said Trump's response is different than Obama's since the chemical weapons attack that violated Obama's "red line" four years ago resulted in the deal to destroy their chemical weapons stockpiles instead of the military strike that seemed inevitable. The people cheering Trump's strike on the radio are praising him in contrast to Obama, trying to say he is doing well and Obama was doing badly. If you consider that the same people, the military, are controlling both Obama and Trump then why would they "hold back" and allow the situation in Syria to get worse under Obama then respond with strikes under Trump, possibly causing it to get worse in another way? Or will they see that this "ends it" so "Trump's approach" - the military options - become more accepted by the American public and the world?

Is it all a big ad for the Military, again, like Iraq was, with millions of casualties?

Before asking what the player's motivations are it is important to consider how many layers and branches of conspiracy there are to this chemical weapons and missile attack.  By considering all the different options, and all the ways to find peace instead of war regardless of which of those options appear to be true will eventually show how peace is the only way out of War -no matter who started it.

This is why I call it a conspiracy tree: there could be conspiracies at every level and different ones branch out from other ones. Maybe they can't all be true but they all point to True Realities that people experience, most likely because governments are creating these realities in order to subject us to them and subjugate us with them. I will try to address as many aspects of the conspiracies as I can but will focus on how they all branch out from a single trunk.

The Ultimate Conspiracy is that the Powers -governments, weapons dealers, oil companies, etc - really don't care how many people die and suffer they have agendas they are pursuing, basically evil. It comes down to this: we know America often violates it's own principles - the American outcry against Russia arresting protesters when we did far worse to Water Protectors at Standing Rock is a recent example. We know America often does this just to start wars, too. We are not above manufacturing evidence and attacking ourselves to start a war. And our only excuse, when seen in the Big Picture, is that "other countries are worse" which means other countries do this, too, but do "more of it" - or since we probably do the most of it, on the largest scale, they are "more guilty" of being less sneaky about it. But our only excuse for using violence to "support" our principles is that Other Countries are Worse.

And what if all bad government actions, in all countries around the world, are not "one against another" but they only pretend to be against each other when in every case they are excuses to abuse, oppress, and exploit the people. If that proves to be the case it is the Ultimate Conspiracy where all governments are allied together against all people.

I just heard another general being interviewed on NPR who was trying to stress this difference between Trump and Obama, that Trump has a spine and now the world will know the President is Serious again and means business when he says something. This fellow took this further and said that Russia had recognized Obama's "weakness" and advanced their position. They are also reporting that Obama sought military action but could not get congressional approval. The point of this storyline, that Obama and Trump are different, is to make people believe in a "Strong Leader" or Republican who is willing to use force and not ask permission. But if they set it up this way and never wanted Obama to use military force this openly, preferring drone strikes, they were saving it for a Republican in order to brand the parties this way.

Democrats have not opposed Trump's strike as far as anyone can tell. Bernie Sanders seems to be avoiding it, only applying the mildest criticism and party line that Trump should seek congressional approval for further strikes. Tulsi Gabbard is the only one I've seen who actually criticized Trump's response and even said the attack will destroy evidence that would tie Syria to the chemical attack. The whole idea that The Military plans all of this and gives some politicians credit and others blame suggests this scenario:

Obama and Clinton were "easy" on Syria and Russia in order to allow them to build up their forces there for a "real fight." It reminds me of the comment I made when the news came out last year that Hillary had arranged to sell 20% of America's uranium to Russia: "She's handicapping them for World War Three." Russia's military really doesn't compare with America's so we've been killing and displacing millions of people to prepare the battleground for a "fair fight."

Most of the posts I saw on Facebook today were about how Hillary and Trump supporters got what they voted for, War. Actually more were about how it is all false propaganda to sell War to the public and one clever post was "War - the jobs pipelines produce." However the news comes out we seem to be discovering that there is a League of Evil against us all and they only pretend to be fighting each other.

The other possibility, besides a conspiracy, coordinated League of Evil, is a "1984" scenario where world powers and government networks actually do have divergent agendas and shifting alliances jockeying for power. It could be that the details that emerge reveal there is a League of Evil or that there are 1984-like factions headed by Russia, Europe, America, and China. The Anti-China, Pro-Russia rhetoric of Trump all last year switched to Anti-Russia (presumably) and Pro-China yesterday "coincidentally" the day President Xi is visiting Trump in Florida and the day he bombed Russia's ally Syria.

The idea that this "proves" Trump is not allied with Russia can only be sold to people who don't understand the nature of conspiracy. The whole meaning of the term is working together secretly. In other words this means divisions and conflicts are fake and fabricated if they are actually working together. The difference between "1984" and the League of Evil really doesn't matter "for our purposes." For that matter, if there is a League of Evil then this is the Great Conspiracy and all lesser conspiracies "don't matter" compared to the Big One.

But of course the horrible consequences of these conspiracies do matter to the people who suffer from them - which is millions of people directly and all of us indirectly. And we can deduce how the biggest conspiracies go, how deep there roots are, by examining and comparing events.

While we don't "know" what is going on "at the top" we know that the events happening, no matter whose side we "believe", can reveal these connections, that there is something bigger, deeper, and more sinister going on. Let's just go through some branches of possible conspiracies around the recent news events to see how this works.

We can keep this in mind to remain alert: America has a history and pattern of hurting itself or other innocent people in order to start a war. The fact that our country has done this repeatedly should put us on guard. The notion that the nations governments say are our enemies are really working together and doing the same thing, attacking people to make each other seem legitimate, clears the way to catch them doing this instead of being caught up in the war they always try to manufacture. If we must suspect America of doing awful things because if we study we know we have, and we are taught to suspect other nations of being "even worse" - how much worse is it for all of them if they are secretly just working together, against us? It's very similar to the "choice" between Trump and Hillary, the idea that one government's story is better than another. Maybe we are choosing between 96% Evil and 94% Evil - and who know which is which - but if they are actually just working together behind the scenes then it really doesn't matter.

The Bernie and Green Party supporters saw this and tried desperately to break the media blackout and tell everyone else so we would have a chance of avoiding the Conspirators having their way. Now that they are getting what they wanted we can trace events with Conspiracy in mind and bust them for it, catch them red handed.

There was supposedly a chemical attack on a town in Syria.  One conspiracy I've seen online is that the attack is fake - they say the aid workers couldn't have handled people who had been gassed like this, supposedly, without themselves getting sick. They said the only footage comes from "the people in white hats" who I assume are the aid workers or actors portraying them. This is callous if untrue, this is unfair to the dead and suffering to suggest that it is not real, but it is a conspiracy at the heart of this event. If it Was True it seems to suggest America staged it in order to start a war or at least show off military power. This is entirely possible - it's basically how I understand both Bush's Iraq wars, for a ready example. With Elder Bush he had his ambassador tell Iraq they could invade Kuwait  -I saw her testify to this, once - then reacted with a war as if they didn't say it was okay at all. Junior wanted revenge for threats against his daddy, wanted to show off the military but also more or less like Trump wanted to take the country to "show for it." They made up the connections with the 9-11 attacks and made up WMDs.

So maybe we made up the chemical attack to start more war.

Or maybe we gassed the people, our CIA or mercenaries or whoever, and they really did die but it was all a false flag attack to start more war. The rest of the implications for America and the "World Order" still apply, it just makes us even worse.

There is another option that many people consider: Terrorists could have gassed the people to draw America further in, to create more violence and destabilization worldwide but also to weaken or destroy Assad so they gain more power and land and influence. Someone sympathetic to the Syrian government said this on the radio last night but I'm sure many are saying it online and around the world. Even if terrorists did gas the people, all of the above still applies, about America planning this in order to use it as an entry to war with Syria, or for Advertising Purposes to China, if you can prove the conspiracy that America and the CIA actually created the terrorists groups - we know they created the Mujaheddin and therefore the Taliban and Al Queda, back in the 1980's to resist the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. And people have said Obama created ISIS in metaphorical and literal ways depending on whom you listen to.

But if the terrorists are not controlled by America and the terrorists are the ones who gassed the people - and the advocate for the Syrian government said they were Nousra who gassed them to draw America in -  then Trump and the American Military got played.

Did they get played or were they in a conspiracy with the terrorists? Or are they in a conspiracy with the Russians and all of this is just for show?

They said six, then seven people were killed in the American missile strike on Syria. They said they destroyed six planes and the runways and control towers - they did not report these details until this morning, as far as I know, and the way they were reporting in the meantime may provide some clues. They said over 60 people were killed in the chemical weapons attack. The updated number today is that over one hundred were killed. If the American response killed seven soldiers, not civilians, and destroyed most of an airfield, it seems like a "measured and appropriate response" to send a message and degrade Assad's capabilities slightly - all the generals they interview keep reporting this. Someone mentioned that the American strike was exactly in line with the war philosophy of the main generals in Trump's cabinet so it seems easy to determine that the Military is calling the shots - Trump basically advertised his approach to governing this way, that he would defer to generals in military matters.

If we believe the story the American generals all tell this was the Right Response to Assad using chemical weapons. They all say Assad and Russia won't respond beyond verbal condemnation, that it won't escalate the conflict. They also say that the rebels should not be too encouraged by it as it does not mean America will make further strikes or insist on regime change - basically the war will continue without heating up too much. And all this is based on the idea that Assad used chemical weapons, again.

There are a few problems with this theory that become apparent in the reporting and public opinion of this storyline. One is something many people and memes point out online - what would be Assad's motivation for using chemical weapons when Trump was treating him like an ally? Why would he do it, what would he stand to gain? If we accept the storyline that he did it the explanations are that he felt he could get away with it - because he really wanted to kill this particular village with chemical weapons instead of all the regular ways he kills people, for some reason? - or to test Trump.

The idea of Assad Testing Trump is very suspicious. Why would he do this? Would he do it without Russian approval? We know Russia and Syria are allied, it's no secret, and how they are allied is shown in the news reports following the chemical weapons attack: the American story was that Syria used chemical weapons. Within hours the news was reporting that Russia's version of events was that Syrian warplanes had hit a rebel munitions factory where rebels were making nerve gas and that is what spread and killed the civilians.

It seems like everyone agrees the Syrian warplanes hit the town at this time and the dispute is who set off the chemical weapons and how. It gets more suspicious as we heard the reporting change in the hours after the American Tomahawk attack (one of the BBC reporters kept calling them "Tommyhawks")

There was a BBC host interviewing a chemical weapons expert. The host kept insisting "sarin gas burns if it explodes, it won't spread." He said numerous experts had told him so in recent hours. This expert said this was untrue, that Sarin would spread if it was exploded. He said he was not paid by anyone and did not take sides in the issue but that scientifically Sarin would spread, not burn. And he said that this was the reason America had given for not making a military strike against a chemical weapons factory, that it would spread the gas.

When we, the radio news audience, were still not sure whether Sarin would burn harmlessly or spread after an attack we hear the details that America has attacked a Syrian airbase where the chemical weapons are supposedly loaded onto the planes. The news this morning was that the American strike had killed seven people, destroyed planes, and destroyed the airfield, runways, control towers and other infrastructure, but they had NOT destroyed the chemical weapons stores there.

This seems to suggest that the expert was right - which has to make us wonder why they had enough experts to convince the BBC host that Sarin would burn if it won't - because it fit the American storyline that there was no way that the rebels could have been making the gas because it can't spread that way.

If we avoided destroying the chemical weapons because it CAN spread that way, then how can we be so sure that the Russian version of events is not true?

Did Trump cause of get suckered into a false flag attack by terrorists? By our own military, by Syrian rebels, or by Russia? We all qualify as terrorists. The only real question is who is secretly in league.

Because we can expose the Evil and end it - we will, one way or another. If we do it with our wits it will be the least violent and most improving revolution ever.

Whoever is responsible for what seems to be the potential start for a "(Last) Great War" there is another way to look at events and other futures to look into besides the one that seemed to be laid out for America whether we elected Trump or Hillary: war with Russia. All this is happening in the context of Trump meeting China's President Xi. China is quickly becoming the most powerful country in the world and their main advantage will be in Green Energy since America and Russia are "stuck fighting" over Oil. We are actually just perpetuating a cycle of Militarism and Oil profits that go hand in hand and are completely counterproductive and destructive. China is taking advantage and going Green, ending coal and making solar super efficient.

They report on this aspect, too, but everyone is wrapped up in the fear of World War Three between Russia and America. If you consider that Russia controls America, vice versa, or that we are both really on the same side, just manufacturing another war to keep our parasitic War/Oil business alive then we don't have to fear what will happen between Russia and America, like that - we can trust the generals because it is all their plan.

What it really amounts to is a "Message to China": "Do something about North Korea because one way we like to act is Violence so avoid that." North Korea fired missiles the other day, their annual response to America and South Korea's annual Military exercises, and were condemned again - verbally rebuked, but not attacked. This is the "measured response" the American generals believe in, make an example of someone "bad" to give someone else a chance to change. Here's one thing: North Korea has expressed these concerns every February/March when America and South Korea hold joint military exercises. It may by my simplistic view to wish we could just cancel these "exercises" - I feel like we are probably shooting things off into the ocean, too, so how can we condemn them? But wouldn't it be a more likely time to cancel these exercises in the year that Trump took over, when he has indicated he would drastically change American policy and meet with Kim Jong Un, and also the year that the South Korean president we supported was impeached and imprisoned and the head of their largest company, Samsung, was arrested, too? Wouldn't some of these be an excuse to cancel the exercises and seek a different path with North Korea?

Not if the Military is in charge.

"I wouldn't be yelling if I didn't love you!" George Jefferson just yelled at his mother on TV. Keep in mind even the mass murder and evil of war is really, at it's root, a cry for attention.

It kind of shows that the Military is in charge  -and it is even One Military the world over arranging it's intramural squabbles that kill its participants and spectators while the Boys in the Skyboxes toast each other.

It gets much better when we can start to see the Conspiracy, all the way up the Tree. If we had just stopped the War in Syria, and we could have and can - but as I said seven years ago the solution will be the blueprint to end ALL War - if we had stopped it years ago then the Military Industrial complex could have continued indefinitely in the shadows. But they pressed their luck too far.

Now they will be exposed and the whole conspiracy will collapse.

It's obvious to see the sides they want to draw for us  - then we just have to see beyond them. England, Israel, and Australia were some of the first countries to support America's action. They had a British official being interviewed on BBC who said the Americans called him to tell England in advance of the attack, not to ask for help but to let them know. They also called the Russians in advance so they would be able to evacuate the base and I suppose most Syrians were alerted and left as well. The final seven - nobody liked them, told them? Left as sacrifices? Holding out in case it was a hoax so no one could just take over the base? Wait, seven people? Why not just take over the base.

Oh, right, missiles are more impersonal. More business-like.

Why were Australia, Israel, and England so quick to show support? Is it an English language thing? Or just ties with America? It was frequently reported that Israel's PM Netenyahu said he hoped it would be a signal that would "resonate" in Tehran and North Korea - basically saying "look why my best friend the Bully can do, do what we tell you or you will get bullied, too". And he just has to say it blatantly for anyone too stupid to get that message on their own but to me that shows how simply and stupidly he sees things, or the simple role he is in, just America's Kim Jong Un.

War doesn't really solve problems it causes them. They think they are getting away with another one, even a big one, but as I've always said it will be the last one. And not because they destroy us all, but because we expose them and shut them down.

You just can't get away with this bullshit anymore, people aren't just going to be duped or pushed around anymore.

There is an interesting story developing at the edges of this one that I just heard more developments of last night thanks to the BBC. One "side-story" is the ethnic cleansing in Burma. An Yan Su Chi recently gave her first interview on the subject in which she says "Ethnic cleansing is too strong a word." What does this even mean? it's more of an Ethnic Dust-up? If it is even close to Ethnic Cleansing that is a Problem, not something to be hidden. And one of her excuses is that Muslim people were killing other Muslims whom they suspected of assisting the Authorities, so it wasn't "just one side killing the other." Does she not understand the English she is speaking? Is she incapable of understanding that we can all see how this means she is defending the rapist, mass-murdering forces by saying some Muslims have killed people they feel have betrayed them to these oppressors? And then she says she won't "take sides" when the Oppressors are killing the Oppressed.

Reminds me of Obama and Cops and Black People.

But the real connection between Trump, Xi, Assad and Kim Jong Un is this: Trump is sending Xi a message about dealing with North Korea but he maybe does not realize the unintended consequences and the way China will end up with the upper hand, by far, as a result of this.

Here is one scenario: Trump is really showing off to Xi to make him "take him seriously." I suspect the Chinese President is FAR more "serious" than Trump is. This does not mean he is more willing to use the military. It means he is better at playing the whole game.

Trump sent this message but I have a counter-message. War doesn't win, Unity and collaboration win.

War is generals playing a game with millions of people's lives. It doesn't really matter if the generals are all really friends, if some of them are, if alliances shift or if they are all enemies: we all suffer as long as they keep playing their game of War.

When looked at it like a club where they are all playing a "friendly game"  - for them because others are the ones who suffer the most, immediately, from it - we can see all these actions as ways of changing the rules of the game. Trump has opened up The Military Option more than it was already on the table. I am starting to suspect this will have consequences for China and Malaysia after the recent news I heard.

I've mentioned Malaysia recently because it's been in the news regarding police corruption. The president had denied any corruption and defended the police saying their actions were necessary for the War on Drugs. This also reminds me of America. But it's far worse in Malaysia than I realized. It seemed like a change of course when Malaysian President Dutuerte said he was suspending the war on drugs to focus on ending police corruption after a South Korean businessman was killed in police custody. But that was a few months ago. Since then a policeman came out and said he had killed over 300 people and 200 of them were political assassinations ordered by Dutuerte when he was mayor in the capitol city. Now the news is even worse than I could imagine: Dutuerte has ordered his police and even deputized the population to be vigilantes and kill drug dealers and addicts in the streets and so far they have killed over 8,000 people. It is a mostly Catholic country but the report said that the majority of the population reveres the president and interpret his actions as good and a way to cleanse the country of the evil of drugs. The Catholic Church has condemned this policy and Dutuerte reponded by saying they have no moral authority to tell him not to make mass murderers out of his citizens since they have not owned up to their protection of child molesters. it is true that the Catholic Church could have much better moral authority if it addressed it's own evils but no one is disqualified from condemning murder and government oppression.

It seems obvious to me that Dutuerte has let his popular approval and guilt for his evil send him into a dangerous messianic mindset. One main problem with Christianity, like it's oppression of sex, is that since it oppresses Magic when people experience magic again it often comes out in this way, with destructive and twisted Christ-complexes that enable people to do horrible things in the name of faith.

A month ago when China started taking over remote Malaysian islands Dutuerte's response was "It's China, they are too big for us to do anything." But last night the news was that he was going to send soldiers to oppose Chinese control of these islands.

What Trump does not realize, and no one seems to realize who is talking about this, is what the stakes are of "changing the game" with shows of force as Trump has done. I just watched a clip from FOX News where they say Trump has acted decisively and put China on unexpected ground by making this attack. I think anyone can reasonably expect America might start a war on any given day. China will be able to use this to their advantage. If their is friction with Malaysia they could end up taking the whole country (back? How big is China?) And they deserve it since they, anyone, could run it better than Dutuerte is, especially since he even has the backing of his people. Like Hitler and the Nazis the longer someone like this remains in power the worse the people become so it will be best for all of them if China takes over their country.

We do it all the time and are now setting new precedents for attacking in the concern of national interest.

This is an extreme example but one that become More Possible, not Less Possible, as a result of trumps recent missile strike. It's way oversimplified to say Trump sent China a message with this attack on Syria. But it doesn't have to be much more complicated than they are all working out the new set of rules for their next game of "Risk."

The problem is, like I said, we are caught up in another Oil War while China is moving ahead into the future with Solar and we will just be left behind as long as we keep fighting. "We" make money in the short term with this Oil-Military complex but the more time, energy, lives, money, and evil we put into it the less we have to compete in the Good Green Race to the Future.

So China is winning this while we fight even if they don't take Malaysia. But Trump's "message" could be all the precedent they need to overwhelm Malaysia after any scuffle over remote islands that weren't going to be fought over a month ago.

The same could be said for Spain, Britain, and Gibraltar - immediately after the Brexit process was started there were confrontations between Spanish and British ships off the coast of Gibraltar - what century is this again?

I contrast to Malaysia murdering thousands of drug users in the streets, Ecuador is starting to sell recreational weed in June. Australia is pushing to legalize drugs for users and I believe other South American and other countries have done this already. In America 8 states have now legalized weed and while our Colorado media likes to scare us with the idea that Trump wants to end it the more they suggest this the faster he will learn that this is a battle he would only Lose Big and can Win, for the World, by joining the Good Side.

Just because most of our conflicts are probably orchestrated and there is not a "Good" and "Bad" side of the ones presented to us does not mean that there is not a Good Side. We are all on it. The forces of division, oppression, and war are against us all. They ran the world and could have continued to do so, in secret, but the game is up, now, and getting more out in the open all the time, because they refused to use their power to change things for the greater good.

The Good Side is Weed and Peace - this is the origin of the Peacepipe Party political movement: focusing on Weed/Nature and Peace are all the principles we need to come together as people to solve every problem we have. Here is the group www.facebook.com/groups/peacepipeparty . Please join and pass it around!

We don't HAVE to use the military or violence at all - there is always another way. Hopefully on this anniversary of America entering World War One we haven't just started World War Three. If we have, we need to stop it before it gets going. But even if it is just a "limited strike" and "message" and does not make things "worse" but instead makes them "better" even leading to the End of the Syrian War, the problem is that it sends the same old message to everyone, again, that Violence Works or that some situations just require war.

This is untrue but if these are the only ways we allow ourselves to solve problems, with bombs, we will keep believing in them. We have other ways - the women of Gambia (?) ended a 25-year civil war with a sex strike and got the idea from a Greek play. The idea had been around for hundreds of years and when someone finally tried it, it worked.

I wrote 7 years ago that the Solomon Solution to Syria was "Give it to a woman." Looks like the political solution is to divide it.

All of this setting the rules of war, this round, like a game of Four-Square, is paralleled in the Senate debate and Supreme Court appointment of Gorsuch. They changed Senate Rules and are generally regarded as weakening the power of the Senate (and the Supreme Court?) by doing so, all to appoint this judge. It's almost like the squabbles in Congress and The White House are to distract us that the real power is in the Supreme Court and whatever else they are doing with Trump they were using him to make this appointment. Democratic opposition is always to be considered fake post-2016. But their faked opposition, knowing it won't stop the appointment, did "weaken the Senate" itself.

Who's plan is this?

Russia seems to be supporting and have the support of all the new fad of Right-Wing nationalist politicians around the globe. While these characters are sold to the people based on fear  - "you need a strong leader to deal with all the Scary" - eventually people wise up and realize we just don't need all these tough guys. We don't even need any of them. And we don't need any women who are "as tough as the men" in the traditional way.

But mostly we need us. If we get out of the fear that we are about to be nuked at any moment we can see through the way they orchestrate and report on events. You can never believe the entire story because it always comes around to some contradictions that expose the conspiracy.

Even though I don't believe in War I can see "good" in anything  - even something bad can be a symbol of something good from another perspective. Military action is bad but the idea that a more powerful military or authority will punish a lesser one who is doing bad is the basis of our idea of Justice  -something we have to enforce. If we have a more spiritual conception of Justice, not as something we have to control or enforce but something we can realize we are all naturally a part of, we can see this idea in a Good way - when evil powers are at work a More powerful, Good power will come down to correct them.

But the best way to seek this natural justice is to have faith in it, believe in it, and seek the Truth, not acting to make statements about "who we are" and insisting that our own ideas of justice are the only ones.

True Justice will always be collaborative. it can't be Just if it leaves anyone out.

We have set up and perpetuate a system when Aggression wins then we punish countries for trying to advance through their own aggression, intensifying the pressure and cycle. We need to change the whole game because naturally aggression only wins in limited circumstances  - as a whole, a a system, Nature teaches us that cooperation is what really thrives and succeeds.

Art can be political but can also take us beyond politics. I've been boycotting "Joanne" for political reasons  - since Stefani supported Hillary - but it's time to put all divisions behind us and I hope this breakthrough and return to my goddess for me, personally, will coincide with breakthroughs and return to the Goddess for the whole world. We will see but even better we will make art and magic to make it come true.

Onefinity continued: gagablog #142

"142" is useful for describing the emerging math and spirituality of Onefinity, as are many news events in recent days. "One For Two" is a basic principle of Onefinity math: since everything equals one the easiest step is realizing how Two Equals One. This is also the spiritual principle Jesus mentions in the Gospel of Thomas, making Two into One. If you can see how Two can actually be One then you realize it is just a quality that can make it seem like Two "in the first place" (in the first place all is One.) If "Two" is actually One with a quality then Three is Just a One (with a quality) and Another One, or the additional one can be paired with either of the "original" two - to highlight different qualities. Because Three is One, too, with different combinations of qualities. In this way all numbers can be seen as One with different qualities and the New Math of Onefinity is looking for qualities between numbers instead of crunching them into traditional sequential boxes.

This explains the Christian doctrine of the Trinity and also the mysteries of math like the pattern in Pi. I will start talking more about Onefinity Math since Alien contact seems to be the impending shoe about to drop in so many news stories but for now I will talk about how recent events relate to Onefinity Math and the whole principle of the Future realizing more Oneness and Unity.

We have a number of current events that show this underlying pattern of the Universe, that we are all "secretly" interconnected and united. It's not really a secret, it's the best message of all religions and I suspect philosophies, too - but we are prevented from realizing it by this system of bullshit and happily the recent news contains signs of the bullshit being swept away. Here are some highlights in the half hour I have before i have to go to work:

Sco (before I could type Scotland, to talk about their upcoming vote to leave the U.K., I went to see what the current status of it was and learned that the British PM has blocked the vote  - I will talk more about this but then a Windows update took all the time I had before work last night and now I have more time and a new story to start with, the news about Washington's condemnation of Russia arresting protesters.)

Hypocrisy is one of the enemies of unity. All Truly Good ideas lead to Unity. Hypocrisy is claiming a Good Idea but being selective and exclusive about applying it. Fairness, equality, helping everyone have the same opportunities, leads to Unity. Some people claim these ideas but really don't want Unity and are therefore hypocrites with the power they gain from claiming goodness. I'm talking about our government, now, and their hypocrisy in condemning Russia for arresting protesters.

The news last night was that a Russian march to protest corruption had led to hundreds of arrests out of thousands of people, including the leader of the opposition party. The news for hours on the BBC, every update, was that Washington was condemning the arrests and saying that arresting peaceful protesters was an affront to democracy. In the later hours of the night the report was that the EU was condemning the arrests and that the opposition leader was already in court.

I have to say something about this because it makes me really angry at our government. I know many people on facebook who feel the same way and I was pleased to see memes pointing out American hypocrisy in this case by the time I got off work last night. America arrested hundreds of people at Standing Rock - not only arrested them but gassed and used cyber and other environmental warfare against them while they were "free" and when they did arrest them they often beat them, stripped them, starved them and put them in dog kennels. They abuse them in every way possible, revealing the police and all who protect them to be Nazis, KKK, the worst of everything they can be associated with, they deserve it, and probably claim it. And our government has the audacity to criticize Russia.

I don't want to get into how they are trying to make everything about Russia, as if most people on the entire planet don't want to just get along and end war entirely. It's a bad show, all reruns and poor imitations of the Old War Program. It's Over, we're ending it, they are pulling out all the stops to keep the show going and they are all revealing what liars they are.

Why does it seem like the government is divided, between Trump and whoever, but they speak with "One Voice" to condemn Russia - and One Silence on the Water Protectors?

They are evil and their evil is their undoing. It's like the pink brains in the Glass Cat, we can watch em work.

The Health Care reform bill died - even though Republicans control Congress and the White House and had 7 years to come up with a plan they could not agree on one, rushed through it, and now are saying we are "stuck" with Obamacare. This shows a number of things: One is that the media wants to blame and credit People, like Heroes and Villains, when really there are Good and Bad ideas - the Republicans didn't have a Good Enough Idea to unify behind because their principles are ultimately flawed and protecting all those special interests simply can't result in Health - something has to give. They are saying that the Koch Brothers paid the holdout Republicans off - this shows other layers of division and corruption in politics.

But the main lessons of this are still the fall-out: Bernie Sanders is apparently the only one now calling for expanded Medicaid to All  - socialized healthcare and I guess if the Insurance industry hangs around it will be for Boutique Services. But the Democrats aren't backing him up even though he still has the will of the people behind him. They are just celebrating the return to Obamacare and the Republicans are saying they will let it implode. My first instinct is that Trump's rush for a vote was all a sham, just to get that "promise" out of the way, because they are all actually fine with how Obamacare continues to enrich the insurance and medical industries and hasn't made health care more affordable at all for many people.

All they are doing shows there is no difference between the Democrats and Republicans and there never was: the Democrats merely fake opposition then put up ineffective resistance to the Corporate-Republican agenda they secretly support, too. It's all a sham. I saw a recent meme that pointed it out, an ad from the Democrats with the word "Persist" , their continuation of the #resist hashtag, I guess, but they had a photo of a recent protest and a sign someone was holding that read "Trump is a symptom" but the meme had the original photo with the sign before the Democrats photoshopped it and it continues "Capitalism is the Disease Socialism is the Cure". But they blocked that part out for their ad. And of course it makes no sense the way they present it.

Some Democrats like Tulsi Gabbard are still doing good things  - calling for national legal weed and the end of arms race bullshit - but until they join the Green party or any other party besides Democrats they won't have the support of the People. We are too unforgiving of how they stole our vote and our choice for President Bernie Sanders  - I've seen some people calling him President Sanders online and that is a Good Magic I believe in.

Democrats claim to represent Equality but they proved to everyone that was a lie when they stole the primary because of favoritism and everything else evil that goes along with that - the party of Corruption, Lies, and False Opposition to Evil. Republicans are the party of Evil but at least their Honest about it. The problem is, Evil can't win, even when it does. It's bad ideas are self-destructive no matter what kind of salesman tries to carry them out. Yes, if we all buy into it we will all suffer more destruction along with it as these bad ideas are empowered but ultimately it will fail. If we act with this assurance and hope then we can escape being dragged down with it.

The fact that there is No Debate between "Democrats" and Trump on condemning Russia, that the report is that "Washington condemns Russia" with One Voice, and No Part of that Voice is Speaking Up for the Water Protectors in THIS country, the ones THIS Government is abusing, shows that all the other "Division" and "Feuding" between them is a charade. When it come down to it, the "important stuff", like protecting the Oil Companies (Or Military or Insurance or Pharmacueticals or Banks, etc) , Democrats and Republicans don't even pretend to be different.

At least we caught them, if we point it out. One way to point it out is in current events, the way our situation is reflected and contrasted in other countries and fields of interest

I like to point it out by making correlations with other countries, other news stories. You'll notice the common thread, and why they all appear in this edition, is that contradicting the Future, true principle of Onefinity is Doomed to Failure. The Future includes more unity: If You Want to Distinguish Yourself Apart from that, "hey, Over here, we reject Unity, don't take us into the Future with you, leave us behind until we decide to catch up" - fine..

Because we refuse to switch from the corporate controlled government addicted to fossil fuels we will be far behind China, India and others in the Energy Game - because the future is all Green and they are starting it. Beijing closed it's last coal power plant  - they switched to natural gas but are also the pioneers of Solar since we decided to continue being polluting stupid assholes.

Division is not the way but if you look at the cases making the news today Division is the "American" way, since we are under the power of the Evils of America instead of ever demanding that we live up to the true promise of it, inclusion. Look at the various places and the "side" we support:

In South Sudan they are devastated by famine and war. "We" ("We" will mean America for a while, the next few paragraphs) helped create that country to end the civil war in Whole Sudan - but the "one we made" has now devolved into inner warfare: a UN observer recently said that none of the government officials he talked with were concerned about the suffering of the people, only with power struggles between them.

We got the woman we wanted to be President of Burma, even got to call it Burma again after the Military had renamed it Myanmar, and now there is a genocide there that we only barely report on and the Opinion of Western Nations has been "wait it out", "Wait and See" like Obama said about Standing Rock  -basically let the oppressors have their way and if anyone is left alive bury their story. The New Orleans Superdome Plan.

The only good news that came out of Burma was that 70,000 or more refugees had escaped over the border, no thanks to any western nations. And since then there was a strange report I barely heard last night that seemed to be the official Burmese response to the slight criticism from the media and intensifying criticism from social media - something that seemed to suggest the Rohinje people never belonged there? Whatever it is, all of those who did this, stood by, ignored it, or refused to use their immense power to stop it are guilty of this genocide.

One of the conflicts that continues to be a source of stress for the entire world is Israel and Palestine and America's Two-State Solution which Trump has shown less enthusiasm for. But what is the option? The only reason we insist on a Two State solution - or rather we insist on endless debate over it (kind of like we do with the Global Warming "debate")  - is if you gave Palestinians rights then the government would change and they wouldn't be able to oppress them the way they have. Would that be terrible? No, that, Unity, would be good. It would be bad for the people who enjoy oppressing other people is all, and fuck them.

The hypocrisy of Israel is obvious in the news story that they arrested the person who was responsible for most of the bomb threats and other threats on Jewish institutions in America. It turns out it was a Isreali-American Jewish boy, 19 years old, and they reported that he had a tumor and possibly related conditions. They mentioned that Trump had suggested that some of the threats and vandalism were false flag attacks to make him look bad but did not go further to imply this kid was paid by George Soros or Hillary Clinton though of course many of us were thinking it.  I had just seen a video of a British MP reading quotes in Parliment from the most powerful politicians in Israel about how racist they were against Palestinians and how they support their policy against terrorists to kill their entire family and bulldoze their house.

If this is how they treat terrorists, will they kill everyone in this Jewish boy's family and bulldoze his house like they would if he were Palestinian?

This is how hypocrisy works, and bad ideas. Bad ideas are based on unequal application. Anything that is truly good can be equally applied with no favoritism or prejudice.

The other Divisions in the news are Political in nature, the tension between Nationalistic parties on the rise in many countries in Europe. Brexit is the example of Going That Way and seems to be a cautionary example to other countries but most of these politicians feel emboldened by Trump and seem to often have Russian support as well - it's as if Russia wants a network of other countries that accept Nationalistic and authoritarian rulers to just asshole out together.

The BBC commentators were talking about how well Theresa May had carried off the initiation of Brexit but that if Scotland left it would be the end of her, politically, because she would be preisding over the loss of some of the U.K., or something. My impression, really only from Braveheart, I don't know history, but I get the idea Scotland has wanted independence for years, centuries even.  It would be interesting, magical, "ironic" if they gained independence with a vote the same way Brexit began and in response to it, in order to stay with the EU or just to finally escape England - or at least disaasociate with the new nationalist/xenophobic trend, even if that is benefitting from their own kind of nationalism. It shows a way nationalism can be Not Bad, too, because Nations CAN be cooperative and inclusive and even have a strong identity in that.

It's actually the strongest potential American identity, Inclusiveness, Freedom, when we believe in it.

As I typed this The Late Show with Steven Colbert had a piece on the news about the failure of the Republican healthcare plan. He said Trump made a statement that he did not blame Speaker of the House Paul Ryan for the failure to pass the bill but then that Trump tweeted to watch a certain show on Fox News, Jane Pirrot I think. That night she went off on Paul Ryan and demanded he step down or be removed, that he must go.

This proves what I've been saying in a few ways: one is that they try to blame people, associate "victories" and "failures" and progress and obstruction with People instead of the merits of the idea. The way democracy works is we elect representatives to represent ideas - and it doesn't work when they get bought off or were lying and don't represent those ideas. And it also doesn't work if the ideas are bad. Like I said, it doesn't matter if they have One Person or Another sell you an idea one way or another, the problem is if the idea is bad it won't work.

One basic difference between the Republican plan and Obamacare is they wanted to eliminate taxes on the rich that pays for medicaid expansion to include the not-completely-poor. It's just a bad idea to say rich people need more money more than poorish people need more help with healthcare.

But it might be other ideas that just can't be unifying that kept the Repubblicans from carrying out what they claim to be their main mission. Or maybe some of them were just paid off - the Koch brothers ended up supporting Hillary after all  - as the True Republican? - and maybe just want to sabatoge Trump. Or maybe all of them like Obamacare just find and have only ever been pretending opposition to it.

It also shows how this evil stuff is bound to turn against each other, even when, especially when it seems the most powerful.

Theresa May may have blocked Scotland's vote to leave but it won't "work" to just use authority to stop democracy. That's what Hillary did to steal and suppress our votes in the primary and steal the nomination. It caused far more harm to her and the party - it basically ended it.

Ever since the beginning of the Trump campaign I predicted it would be the end of the Republican party. It turned out the 2016 was the end of the Democratic Party - they still exist but everyone is waking up to their irrelevence and fakery and finding their way to other parties and methods. But the Republican party will end, too, it seems, just while they are in power and before our eyes.

The ideas just don't work, or have bad outcomes, because they are bad ideas. They finally have all they power to enact these ideas and find they are either unconstitutional, have really bad results, highl unpopular or they can't even do them because their faulty beliefs are contradictory - you can't just try to protect certain people all the time, the point of democratic government is to be able to protect everyone better even if it means protecting people from your own evil schemes by ending them.

I still wonder what the news the Russians got last year from space - I should look it up but I know there hasn't been any "worldwide news" about it. All news can be looked at from the perspective that we are all One people and it will easily reveal the biases of the media presenting the news and the cultural / national agenda it represents.

One of the best things about the news reporting of America demanding Russia release it's protestors is that the people are reminded and demanding America release the Water Protectors, whether the media picks up that side of the story or not. And if they don't, the people will just get more insistent until they can't deny us. Red Fawn is still in custody, months later, on trumped up charges, with tens of thousands of people working for her release - but the leader of the Russian Opposition gets a trial within hours. And thousands of other Water Protectors were abused by American Authorities and hundreds were arrested and I believe many or most of them are still in custody.

This is an outrage and we only have ourselves to be outraged with. Pretending we have the right to be outraged at Russia is just false division. They are probably promoting their Oil Interests "their way" and we are promoting ours "our way" and those may even be the same thing and no one is really trying to stop it.

But since Trump had to call Obama out for Wiretapping him, and it turns out it was part of the whole Russian investigation, but now that FBI director James Comey has said they were investigating the Russian Trump collusion since last June, everyone is mad that he didn't mention it at the time. It all seems to show how these folks are all on the same team, Evil, but as they try to shift the blame and attention around to keep from being caught eventually the story unwinds and they are exposed and lose power.

The point is that Unity is real and Division is False. it doesn't matter if "everything is designed around you, the driver" the TV commercial jusr said  - It doesn't matter if the whole system, countries, politics, economies, all of it - it doesn't matter if all of that is built around the idea of division, it all unravels.

I'm eager to catch up with Gaga again, not just this Gagablog but to finally hear Joanne. I did have one connection with her, recently, a friend sent me a message with a link to her with Jon Bon Jovi at the Last Clinton Campaign rally singing "Living on a Prayer". I don't know what to say about it, come to think of it. It was magic but not the magic I want that uplifts us all around the best ideas.

I wonder what she, they, would have sung for President Bernie? Or who would have sung for him, or who will? It's partly his unifying power that we miss.

But anyone, everyone has that. We just have to access it.

I wrote most of this on 3-27-17. It is now 5-5-17. Often I write these and feel like I have to finish quickly because events happen so fast. This time, for the last few days, I've been happy to leave this as is in case drastic changes are on the way, just to postpone them. There were a few stories I wanted to include and couldn't remember all of them.

One was an interview with a singer from Ghana, Sister Deborah, about her song "Ghana Jollof." It is her contribution to the Jollof Wars between Ghana and Nigeria about who makes the best rice dish Jollof. She concludes the interview by saying the two countries are like siblings and you tease the ones you love.

I thought about this in terms of the North Korean missile launches and every other form of aggression and war  - from the perspective that we are trying to get each other's attention, even if it's in a bad way, like Nelson's advice to Bart to punch her in the arm or push her down, I forget - but it indicates an alternative to aggression to respond. Violence is just an extreme acting out for attention. And it can be stopped.

The other interview on NPR was with the man who prosecuted the Nazi war criminals from World War Two. His advice was to never give up seeking peace and recognize that militarism is terror and produces terror. The key to this is to not allow governments and other powers to make us "otherize" people from different places or backgrounds.

There are so many stories that fit into these political proofs of One-ism: there was a secret vote in Paraguay to allow the President to run for another term, the people took offense since they had recently voted against that, and they protested outside the congress building and ended setting it on fire. When this was the story the protesters looked like they may have gone too far. But the police killed a young activist and the president ended up firing people over it and taking a sympathetic tone.

This should have been the worldwide response to Syria years ago when Assad was showing such disrespect for his people that he was killing peaceful protesters, six years ago. If we could have "fired" him then and shown sympathy, from the world, we could have avoided all this evil and suffering. Instead, some people, apparently Us and Russia, preferred to take courses that could lead to greater war. They, "we", are responsible for all the suffering since then.

They did arrest and imprison the impeached president of South Korea. They have not arrested Hillary Clinton. But one of the people literally leading the chants of "Lock Her Up" is Trump's ex-national security advisor Michael Flynn. The news since I last wrote is that he is asking for a deal for immunity for testifying what he knows about the Russian connection. He also is quoted as saying that anyone who gets an immunity deal is most likely guilty of crimes, referring to a number of Hillary's top aides, but the same applies to him, now, and shows the nature of hypocrisy in this kind of power.

We can hope they will reveal some of the inner workings of who is really controlling governments but we don't need them to, it's easy to see if we look at it without getting dragged into it.

This reminds me of the news yesterday, that scientists around the world were calibrating all their telescopes to form an effective planetary-sized telescope to look at the black hole at the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way  -as i typed that Louise on Bob's Burger's, on Hulu, said "pudding in the hole!"

Looking at a black hole for the first time, yesterday, seems like good news - I don't know if they saw it or what they saw, yet. I personally believe we will be able to see black holes everywhere, of all sorts of sizes, once we learn how to look. But I need to conclude this and go to work so hopefully more soon when more information comes in.

But the worst news yesterday is of the chemical weapons attack in Syria. The news at first reported that it happened, BBC radio news, and the next hours that Russia was claiming the Syrian planes had hit a rebel ammunitions factory that was making poisonous materials. This sounded suspicious and the further reports had experts then countries and international organizations calling this suspicions. Then there was one hour late at night, our time in America, where this Top News Story was not reported at all. And I was suspicious all along how this could be pretext to war.

Today's news stories included that Trump demoted Bannon from his permanent position on the security council, which seems like it must be good news, but also probably reflects the power of the machine he is now part of. It's worrisome that this chemical weapons attack has prompted Trump to seem to enter his own attack mode. He says he won't say what he is going to do, which seems to be a sign he is up to something. But he also said he saw the video of the attack and it changed his mind about Assad and Syria. I don't know how he could have had a positive impression of Assad before - he respected him as a strong leader? - but I do worry that this will be a start of greater war, especially since tomorrow is the 100 year anniversary of America entering World War One.

I guess I want to type this now to Jinx it, for peace, to claim some other outcome besides the "inevitable" will take place today, tonight, and tomorrow. Because war is obviously a contruct of powers, not even a conflict of governments as they try to sell it to us as.

What if Trump is Russia's puppet? And going to start a war with them - for what? It just shows how "real war" is as silly, pointless, and manufactured as Joffol Wars - but it's a much worse way to get each other's attention than music. It ends up causing so much evil.

And all we have to do is realize who is behind it - it's One War Machine against us all. The People are all on the same side and we even have all sorts of spiritual powers and beings supporting us. All we need to do us Unite and put this chapter of evil and violence behind us, and now is the time.
